Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: Chapter 364: The Onset of the Poisonous Gu_1 (2/2)

Now, her equipment was both offensive and defensive, and she was fully equipped.

Tang Caixian looked on from the side, filled with envy.

“Caixian, when the right opportunity comes next time, I’ll get you a set of armor or soft armor. You and Wan Yan are both my women, and I will definitely treat you both equally without favoritism.”

Qin Niu pulled Tang Caixian closer, comforting her.

“Ah Niu treats us so well! Marrying you must be the luckiest thing of my life.”

Tang Caixian rested her head on his shoulder.

The faint fragrance of her hair, mixed with the subtle scent of her body, assaulted Qin Niu’s nose.

It made Qin Niu’s heart race, and he felt his heartbeat quicken.

The more agitated his ‘heart-monkey’ became.

Just then, he felt as if a strange energy was gathering inside him, followed by waves of pain radiating from his abdomen and spreading throughout his body.

He was now an Innate Realm powerhouse, almost invulnerable to all diseases.

The dinner they had that night couldn’t possibly be the problem.

A sudden stomach ache likely meant that the Black Spider Gu that had burrowed into his body last time was acting up.

A chill settled in Qin Niu’s heart; he couldn’t let his wives find out about this.

They wouldn’t be able to help, and would only end up worrying.

“Alright, you two go practice the Dragon Elephant Art,” he said, pressing down the pain in his abdomen with a gentle tone.

“Then we’re off! Don’t overexert yourself, and remember to rest. I’ve noticed that you’ve been looking quite haggard these last few days,” Wang Wanyan observed attentively.

Qin Niu had been trying every possible means to find a way to rid himself of the Gu poison lately, bearing immense psychological stress, truly not resting well.

As he watched the two women leave, Qin Niu shut the door, opened the cover to the underground chamber, and went straight in.

Because he didn’t know what it would be like when the Black Spider Gu acted up.

If he screamed in agony by accident, his wives would easily hear it.

Elder Mei was a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse, and even Elder Mei suffered unimaginably when the Gu poison flared up. Qin Niu, being at the Innate Realm, would only fare worse.

No sooner had he hidden in the underground chamber than he felt a gut-wrenching pain in his abdomen.

At the same time, his head began to tighten progressively with each pulse, hurting more intensely with each wave.

It was like the legendary Tightening Band Spell had been placed on him.

The Black Spider Gu inside his body seemed to be ‘chanting spells’.

“Ah…”

He clutched his head, writhing in pain on the ground.

The pain at that instant made his world go dark, and his breathing became difficult.

It was excruciating.

It felt as though countless blunt knives were ceaselessly cutting inside him, as if he were being quartered and slowly flayed alive.

“Damn creature, unleash all you’ve got. Don’t think I don’t know your weakness; if I stop providing you with food, you will eventually die bit by bit. I’ve always been someone who cannot be coerced; the more you try to use pain to force me to find better sustenance for you, the more I refuse to comply. If you don’t believe me, you can try. I’d rather be shattered jade than an intact tile… Ah!”

Qin Niu screamed again, rolling on the ground in agony.

The pain in his stomach was becoming intense.

It was no longer intermittent but a continuous, severe ache.

Sweat started to bead on his forehead, quickly forming a layer, drenching his hair.

The veins on his neck bulged, one by one.

The fear induced by the Gu poison was indeed extraordinary.

Far surpassing the endurance limits of an ordinary person.
